| Description | 'Beattie's "Magnetic Survey of South Africa".
Dear Sir,
In absence of all our Officers I have no one to consult on the question you raise. I can therefore only give my personal opinion, as I expressed it to your representative when he called here a week or two ago. My opinion is that a copy should be sent to the 'Rand Daily Mail'. Their letter is more than a month old; the book has now been out some time, and Professor Beattie is more or less inaccessible in some remote part of Rhodesia [Zimbabwe]. I return your enclosure.'
